Favourite Washboy?

I paid about £50 for my last one, had my pants pulled down, it's a red one, think it might be rubi.
To be honest I've never got on with the things, I always just use hand sponge, I think they can put too much water down, even with a lot of ringing out on the rollers. Maybe if I was doing huge floors every week I would try to like it!

you are doing it wrong then.

I think they are in the top 5 products for professional tiling.

Maybe I am ! I've not really given it much of a chance, might have been the fact it was a brand new sponge, always better once they have worn in a bit.

Do you use it just on floors or for all grouting?
 
I use mine on both floors and larger walls, is a bit of a trick to getting most the water, but once you get the feel for it it becomes easier. Plus your hands stay dry.
 
Never had the urge!
Always like to run my finger through the joint to keep it smooth.
 
I tried rolling it over the rollers about 4 times and holding it at an angle so the water drained out and it still seemed to put excess water down on the tiles, causing little bubbles and generally too wet!
 
Hi guys, my apprentice managed to loose the rollers of my washboy today and I was just about to order a new one tonight but as there's so many to choose from I thought I'd put it out there to see what the general consensus was on which one are your favourites. Any feed back would be appreciated
Buy a flieschen wash boy from Germany. They are brilliant had mine 13 yrs now. Other great tools too
